small bump

here’s a question why would it be bad to put major GPA instead of cumulative if it’s more relevant.

like let’s say an CS major has like a 3.4 GPA cumulative, but this major GPA is like 2.9, and he got an 3.7+ in all humanities/social science/general elective classes.

i feel like the major GPA is more important here. The case where the student has a 3.4 GPA cumulative with with 3.7+ in all CS classes but 2.9 in other classes exists less commonly.
